Can you refactor these ifdefs so they just protect this OF specific code and just have the allocation fail otherwise please? That way the OF dependency is minimised - we should be able to support this on other platforms in the future and the rest of the code will be the same.
Also is iram the best name? It makes me think of the dedicated fast instruction RAM that some processors have. sram perhaps (for static RAM)?
Using IRAM (internal SRAM) for this seems to be quite popular (`grep IRAM arch/arm -r`). Existing devicetree bindings also seem to use the 'iram' property to refer to the on-chip SRAM (Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/coda.txt). It's probably a good idea to stay consistent with the existing bindings.
